Journal Fifteen: What I am Thankful for this Thanksgiving
This Thanksgiving is the best Thanksgiving I will ever have in my life, and it is for the same reason that every Thanksgiving is about every year. I am very excited to go home and see my family for Thanksgiving. Before leaving home, Thanksgiving was always about the cooking. I never appreciated the novelty of saying grace before dinner, and I certainly never appreciated how much it means to sit around a table with my family for a meal. I feel humbled, and I feel honored to be able to spend time with my family. It is a privilege to see my friends and neighbors, and to see my extended family who so rarely visit. I feel proud of my accomplishments in college, and I am proud of how I have grown in their absence. But I am most excited to visit so that I can share my growth with them, so that I can show them how much I appreciate having them in my life. I would not trade my family for the world and I hope that they will always know how much they mean to me.
